D
Beta Draft
ra
We use various conventions in text to help you more quickly identify special terms. The following table describes those conventions and provides examples of their use.
Example
Bold typeface indicates terms that are When you specify this clause, you create an defined in the text or terms that appear in index-organized table. a glossary, or both. Italic typeface indicates book titles or emphasis. Oracle9i Database Concepts Ensure that the recovery catalog and target database do not reside on the same disk. You can specify this clause only for a NUMBER column. You can back up the database by using the BACKUP command. Query the TABLE_NAME column in the USER_ TABLES data dictionary view. Use the DBMS_STATS.GENERATE_STATS procedure.
Italics
UPPERCASE monospace (fixed-width font)
Uppercase monospace typeface indicates elements supplied by the system. Such elements include parameters, privileges, datatypes, RMAN keywords, SQL keywords, SQL*Plus or utility commands, packages and methods, as well as system-supplied column names, database objects and structures, usernames, and roles.
ft
xv
Convention lowercase monospace (fixed-width font)
Meaning Lowercase monospace typeface indicates executables, filenames, directory names, and sample user-supplied elements. Such elements include computer and database names, net service names, and connect identifiers, as well as user-supplied database objects and structures, column names, packages and classes, usernames and roles, program units, and parameter values.
Example Enter sqlplus to open SQL*Plus. The password is specified in the orapwd file. Back up the datafiles and control files in the /disk1/oracle/dbs directory. The department_id, department_name, and location_id columns are in the hr.departments table. Set the QUERY_REWRITE_ENABLED initialization parameter to true.
Note: Some programmatic elements use a mixture of UPPERCASE and lowercase. Connect as oe user. Enter these elements as shown. The JRepUtil class implements these methods.
Conventions in Code Examples
SELECT username FROM dba_users WHERE username = MIGRATE;
The following table describes typographic conventions used in code examples and provides examples of their use.
Convention [] Meaning Brackets enclose one or more optional items. Do not enter the brackets. Example DECIMAL (digits [ , precision ])
{} |
Braces enclose two or more items, one of {ENABLE | DISABLE} which is required. Do not enter the braces. A vertical bar represents a choice of two {ENABLE | DISABLE} or more options within brackets or braces. [COMPRESS | NOCOMPRESS] Enter one of the options. Do not enter the vertical bar.
xvi
Code examples illustrate SQL, PL/SQL, SQL*Plus, or other command-line statements. They are displayed in a monospace (fixed-width) font and separated from normal text as shown in this example:
ra
ft
Beta Draft
lowercase monospace (fixed-width font) italic
Lowercase monospace italic font represents placeholders or variables.
You can specify the parallel_clause. Run Uold_release.SQL where old_ release refers to the release you installed prior to upgrading.
Convention ...
Meaning Horizontal ellipsis points indicate either:

s
Example
That we have omitted parts of the code that are not directly related to the example That you can repeat a portion of the code
CREATE TABLE ... AS subquery;
SELECT col1, col2, ... , coln FROM employees;
. . . Other notation
Vertical ellipsis points indicate that we have omitted several lines of code not directly related to the example. You must enter symbols other than brackets, braces, vertical bars, and ellipsis points as shown. Italicized text indicates placeholders or variables for which you must supply particular values. Uppercase typeface indicates elements supplied by the system. We show these terms in uppercase in order to distinguish them from terms you define. Unless terms appear in brackets, enter them in the order and with the spelling shown. However, because these terms are not case sensitive, you can enter them in lowercase. acctbal NUMBER(11,2); acct CONSTANT NUMBER(4) := 3;
Italics
CONNECT SYSTEM/system_password DB_NAME = database_name SELECT last_name, employee_id FROM employees; SELECT * FROM USER_TABLES; DROP TABLE hr.employees;
lowercase
Lowercase typeface indicates programmatic elements that you supply. For example, lowercase indicates names of tables, columns, or files. Note: Some programmatic elements use a mixture of UPPERCASE and lowercase. Enter these elements as shown.

Conventions for Windows Operating Systems

The following table describes conventions for Windows operating systems and provides examples of their use.
Convention Choose Start > Meaning Example
How to start a program. For example, to Choose Start > Programs > Oracle - HOME_ start Oracle Database Configuration NAME > Configuration and Migration Tools > Assistant, you must click the Start button Database Configuration Assistant on the taskbar and then choose Programs > Oracle - HOME_NAME > Configuration and Migration Tools > Database Configuration Assistant.
The backslash special character (\) is sometimes required as an escape character for the double quote (") special character at the Windows command prompt. Parentheses and the single quote special character () do not require an escape character. See your Windows operating system documentation for more information on escape and special characters. HOME_NAME Represents the Oracle home name. The home name can be up to 16 alphanumeric characters. The only special character allowed in the home name is the underscore.
ra
C:\>
Represents the Windows command prompt of the current hard disk drive. The escape character in a command prompt is "^". Your prompt reflects the subdirectory in which you are working. Referred to as the command prompt in this manual.
xviii
ft
File and Directory File/directory names are not case c:\winnt"\"system32 is the same as Names sensitive. The special characters <, >, :, ", C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 /, |, and - are not allowed. The special character \ is treated as an element separator, even when it appears in quotes. If the file name begins with \\, Windows assumes it uses the Universal Naming Convention. C:\oracle\oradata>
C:\>exp scott/tiger TABLES=emp QUERY=\"WHERE job=SALESMAN and sal<1600\" C:\>imp SYSTEM/password FROMUSER=scott TABLES=(emp, dept)
C:\> net start OracleHOME_ NAMETNSListener
Beta Draft
Convention
Meaning In releases prior to Oracle8i release 8.1.3, when you installed Oracle components, all subdirectories were located under a top level ORACLE_HOME directory that by default was:
s s s
Example Go to the ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_ HOME\rdbms\admin directory.
ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_ BASE
C:\orant for Windows NT C:\orawin95 for Windows 95 C:\orawin98 for Windows 98
or whatever you called your Oracle home. This release complies with Optimal Flexible Architecture (OFA) guidelines. All subdirectories are not under a top level ORACLE_HOME directory. There is a top level directory called ORACLE_BASE that by default is C:\oracle. If you install Oracle9i Release 1 (9.0.1) on a computer with no other Oracle software installed, the default setting for the first Oracle home directory is C:\oracle\ora90. The Oracle home directory is located directly under ORACLE_BASE. All directory path examples in this guide follow OFA conventions. See Oracle9i Database Getting Starting for Windows for additional information on OFA compliances and for information on installing Oracle products in non-OFA compliant directories.

Screen Reader Setup for Oracle9i for Windows

Oracle9i client tools, such as Oracle Enterprise Manager and Oracle Database Configuration Assistant, can be used with a screen reader, such as JAWS. This section contains setup information to enable Oracle9i client tools running on Windows computers to use a screen reader. The following procedures are needed only if you use a screen reader.
Java Access Bridge Setup

After installing Oracle9i client tools, install and configure the Java Access Bridge for Windows. The Java Access Bridge supports assistive technologies, such as the JAWS screen reader, for Java applications running on Windows. The steps to install and configure the Java Access Bridge are:
s
Step 1: Install Java Access Bridge Software Step 2: Configure Oracle to use Java Access Bridge
1. 2. 3.
Copy \access bridge\accessbridge1_0.zip from the component CD-ROM to a location on your hard drive. Extract the files on you hard drive. Double-click \install\Install.exe. The Java Access Bridge installer displays a dialog showing all of the Java Virtual Machines in your system.
4.
Select the Java Virtual Machine used by Oracle Enterprise Manager. By default, the Java Virtual Machine used by Oracle Enterprise Manager is installed in C:\Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.1.8.
Step 2: Configure Oracle to use Java Access Bridge To configure Oracle to use Java Access Bridge, set the system environment variable ORACLE_OEM_CLASSPATH to point to the installed Java Access Bridge files. The Java Access Bridge installer adds two paths to the environment variable CLASSPATH. These two paths must be copied to the ORACLE_OEM_CLASSPATH variable.

iSQL*Plus iSQL*Plus is a browser-based implementation of SQL*Plus. You can use iSQL*Plus over the Internet to connect to an Oracle database and perform the same actions as you would through the SQL*Plus command line. The iSQL*Plus implementation uses a Web browser, an Oracle HTTP Server with the iSQL*Plus Server, and an Oracle Database Server.
Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) The following table describes some of the new features in Microsoft Transaction Server for Oracle9i.
Better performance High availability Communication between the Microsoft Transaction Server application and the Oracle Service for MTS is no longer required. The Oracle database is no longer dependent on the Oracle Service for MTS. Previously, if the Oracle Service for MTS was stopped, the Oracle database was unable to participate in Microsoft Transaction Server transactions.
Easier configuration
Previous versions required a Windows NT service named Oracle Service for MTS to be created for each Oracle database, enabling the database to participate in Microsoft Transaction Server transactions. Moreover, only one Oracle Service for MTS was supported for each Oracle database. This release no longer requires this service.
Oracle OLAP Services Oracle OLAP Services provides a Java OLAP API and an analytical engine. Using OLAP Services, developers can build analytical applications that support complex statistical, mathematical, and financial calculations along with predictive analytical functions such as forecasting, modeling, consolidations, allocations, and scenario management. Because the OLAP API is all Java, OLAP Services supports deployment of analytical applications to large, geographically

Oracle COM Automation Oracle COM Automation feature is now available for Java as well as PL/SQL. While the general functionality is parallel, the developers guide indicates those areas where functionality, setup, and architecture differ. For this release, Oracle has renamed the com81.dll to orawpcom.dll. Users migrating from Oracle8i must re-run comwrap.sql to continue using Oracle COM Automation feature for PL/SQL.

Oracle DBA Studio
Oracle Objects for OLE 9.0.1.4.1 Oracle Objects for OLE will support the creation of temporary BLOBs or CLOBs which can be manipulated and then bound into SQL statements or PL/SQL blocks, or copied into permanent LOBs. Oracle Objects for OLE will support database events. This asynchronous notification is modeled along the same lines as the failover handler, thus a client can subscribe to one or more database events and can continue with other processing. Each database event that the client is interested in is stored as a subscription by Oracle Objects for OLE.

Integration With Windows NT and Windows 2000

s
Oracle9i supports several versions of Microsoft Windows, including Windows 2000 and Windows NT. Oracle9i supports enhanced integration with Microsoft Transaction Services, and Internet Information Services. The PKI infrastructure and Single Sign-On capabilities in Oracle9i have also been well integrated with Windows 2000, Active Directory, and Microsoft Certificate Store. Oracle9i also provides an enhanced solution to allow the Oracle database to participate as a Resource Manager in Microsoft Transaction Server/COM+ Transactions environment, providing enhanced performance and scalability.
Customers who implement Oracle Internet Directory as their central Directory while using Active Directory to support their desktop environments can use Microsoft ADSI to access Oracle Internet Directory from the Windows desktop environment. Meta-directory synchronization between Active Directory and Oracle Internet Directory facilitates centralized scheduling and configuration of Oracle and third party meta-directory components. Synchronization between Active Directory and Oracle Internet Directory can be achieved by deploying Oracle Directory Integration Platform and an Active Directory Synchronization agent from Siemens. Oracle Fail Safe, shipping in a subsequent CD pack, provides high availability for Oracle databases and applications deployed on all Microsoft Cluster Server clusters configured with Windows NT and Windows 2000. For Windows developers, Oracle9i offers an enhanced native OLE DB provider. XML, database Events, and Oracle9i extensions are supported
Windows security supports Oracle wallets in the registry/Active Directory and allows Oracle products to use Microsoft Certificate Store.

Workspace Manager Workspace Manager provides a long-transaction framework built on a workspace management system. It uses a series of short transactions and multiple data versions to implement a complete long-transaction event that maintains atomicity and concurrency. Changes are stored in the database as different workspaces. Users are permitted to create new versions of data to update, while maintaining a copy of the old data. The ongoing results of the long transaction are stored persistently, assuring concurrency and consistency.

Using Optimal Flexible Architecture

Oracle Corporation recommends using the Optimal Flexible Architecture (OFA) standard when installing and configuring Oracle9i databases. The OFA standard is a set of configuration guidelines for creating fast, highly available, reliable Oracle databases that require little maintenance. An OFA-compliant database includes the following characteristics:
s
Organizes file systems to allow for easy administration Accommodates scalability, such as adding data into existing databases, or adding users to the system Distributes I/O loads across disk drives to prevent performance bottlenecks caused by multiple read/write commands issued simultaneously to a single drive Distributes applications across more than one drive to safeguard against disk failure
Note: The Oracle Universal Installer supports OFA, but does not require OFA.
Benefits of Using Multiple Oracle Homes

The main benefit of using multiple Oracle homes is that you can run multiple releases of the same products concurrently. For example, you can test an Oracle9i release 1 (9.0.1) database patch before you run your production database Oracle9i release 1 (9.0.1) against it.
Multiple Oracle Home Functionality in Different Releases

Modifications to multiple Oracle home functionality have occurred since it was introduced in Oracle8 release 8.0.4. This section helps you determine the capabilities of your Oracle home depending on the release you are using.

Oracle8 Releases Before 8.0.4

Releases of Oracle for Windows NT and Windows 95 prior to Oracle8 release 8.0.4 support only single Oracle homes, allowing you to install and run Oracle products in a single Oracle home. Different releases of Oracle products can be installed in the same Oracle home provided they had different first or second-digit release numbers. For example, you can install Oracle7 release 7.2 products and Oracle7 release 7.3 products or Oracle7 release 7.x and Oracle8 release 8.x products in the same Oracle home. However, you could not install multiple third-digit releases of the same products. For example, you cannot install Oracle7 release 7.3.2 and Oracle7 release 7.3.3 products on the same computer; one installation will overwrite the other.
Oracle8 Releases 8.0.4 to 8.0.6

You can install one or more releases of Oracle products in multiple Oracle homes. For example, with multiple Oracle homes, you can install Oracle8 release 8.0.x and Oracle8i release 8.1.3 products or Oracle7 release 7.x and Oracle8 release 8.0.x products in different Oracle homes on the same computer. You can also install different releases of Oracle products in the same Oracle home provided they have different first or second-digit release numbers. For example, you can install Oracle7 release 7.2 products and Oracle8 release 8.0.x products in the same Oracle home.
Oracle8i Release 8.1.3 to Oracle9i Release 1 (9.0.1)

These releases have the same multiple Oracle home functionality as Oracle8 releases 8.0.4 to 8.0.6, but the following restrictions apply:
s
You cannot install any release from Oracle8i release 8.1.3 to Oracle9i release 1 (9.0.1) into an Oracle home that was created using the old installer. (The old installer was called Oracle Installer and was used for installations before Oracle8i release 8.1.3; the new Java-based installer is called Oracle Universal Installer.) You cannot install releases prior to Oracle8i release 8.1.3 into an Oracle home that was created by any release from Oracle8i release 8.1.3 to Oracle9i release 1 (9.0.1). Releases from Oracle8i release 8.1.3 to Oracle9i release 1 (9.0.1) must be installed in separate Oracle homes. You cannot have more than one release installed in each Oracle home.

Oracle Management Server Requirements

Oracle Management Server, the middle tier of the Oracle Enterprise Manager framework, is responsible for:
s
Authenticating Oracle Enterprise Manager administrators Processing management functions Providing a centralized data store of administrative information
Oracle Management Server requires the use of a repository. Prior to installation, determine whether to use an existing repository or create a new repository.
Important: All Oracle Enterprise Manager products must be of the same release. Do not upgrade Oracle Management Server and the repository until all Oracle Enterprise Manager users have upgraded their software to Oracle9i release 1 (9.0.1). Older versions of Enterprise Manager are not supported with the new release.
Use an Existing Repository
If you use an existing repository, then no further preinstallation steps are required. If the existing repository is an earlier release (specifically, release 2.0, 2.1, or 2.2), first upgrade the older repository to the current release by running Oracle Enterprise Manager Configuration Assistant release 1 (9.0.1). While there are no specific preinstallation steps if the existing repository is release 1.x (you still create a new release 1 (9.0.1) repository), there are some required postinstallation steps that enable you to migrate the release 1.x repository to the newly created release 1 (9.0.1) repository.
See Also: Oracle Enterprise Manager Configuration Guide for more information on installing, configuring, or migrating a repository
Create a New Repository

If you want to create a new release 1 (9.0.1) repository, then first install and start a database, or select an existing, running database. The following database versions have been certified for the release 1 (9.0.1) repository: 9.0.1, 8.1.7, 8.1.6, 8.0.6, and

If you select the Oracle Internet Directory installation type described in the table above, then an Oracle9i Database will be automatically installed if one is not currently installed in the same Oracle home. Use this database for storing only Oracle Internet Directory information. If you select the Oracle Integration Server installation type and no Oracle9i Database is currently installed in the current Oracle home, then the same database that you receive with the Enterprise Edition installation type is automatically installed. Oracle Net Services requires installation through the Custom installation type of Oracle9i Management and Integration. Oracle Net Services components are automatically installed with the Oracle Management Server, Oracle Internet Directory, and Oracle Integration Server installation types of Oracle9i Management and Integration.
Oracle Universal Installer enables you to create an Oracle9i Database that operates in one of the following environments. Identify the environment appropriate for your Oracle9i Database:
Environment General Purpose
Transaction Processing (OLTP)
3-4
Description Users perform a variety of database tasks, ranging from simple transactions to complex queries. Select this database environment for general purpose usage. Users perform large numbers of concurrent transactions, where each transaction is a relatively simple operation processing a small amount of data. Transactions consist of reading, writing, and deleting data in database tables. Billing databases, such as those commonly found on internet commerce sites, are the most common example of this database configuration. These are also known as online transaction processing (OLTP) databases.

Beta Draft
Selecting a Database Creation Method
Environment Data Warehousing or Decision Support System (DSS)
Description Users perform numerous complex queries that process large volumes of data. Response time, accuracy, and availability are key issues. These queries (typically read-only) range from a simple fetch of a few records to complex queries that sort thousands of records from many different tables. Data warehousing environments are also known as Decision Support System (DSS) environments.
Customized
Allows you to create a customized database configuration or a custom installation of Oracle components that meets specialized requirements. Select this configuration method only if you are prepared to provide detailed component and database environment information. Choosing this option requires a longer installation session than choosing a preconfigured database.
Software Only
See Also: Oracle Database Configuration Assistant online help for information on the initialization file parameters affected by your database selection

Oracle Database Configuration Assistant is a tool that enables you to create an Oracle9i Database for an Transaction Processing, Data Warehousing, or General Purpose environment. Oracle Database Configuration Assistant is automatically started by Oracle Universal Installer when you select to create an Oracle9i Database as part of the installation process or can be manually run as a standalone tool after installation. When you run Oracle Universal Installer and select Oracle9i Server in the Available Products window, the Installation Types window appears and presents you with three installation types. Each installation type enables you to create an Oracle9i Database.

To perform preinstallation tasks:

1.
Read the appropriate online documentation described in "What Documentation Do I Read First?" on page 1-11 before you begin installation. This is particularly important if you are upgrading or migrating an existing Oracle database, or want to correctly configure your Oracle9i database from the start. Review and satisfy applicable system and component requirements in Chapter 2, "Preinstallation Requirements" on page 2-1 before you begin installation. Start your operating system. If you are installing on Windows NT, log on as a member of the Administrators group to the computer on which to install Oracle components. Back up any databases to migrate or upgrade. Review "Migration and Upgrade Requirements" on page 2-17 If applicable, install and test your network hardware and software. Optionally, review Appendix D, "Oracle Real Application Clusters Preinstallation Tasks" on page D-1 if installing Oracle Real Application Clusters.

Reviewing the Installation Session Log

The first time the Installer runs it creates the <system drive>:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs directory. An inventory of installed components and installation actions performed are kept in this directory. installactions.log is the most recent log file. Log file names of previous installation sessions are also in this directory and take the form installactionsdate_time.log (for example, installactions2001-07-14_09-00-56-am.log). You can also view a list of installed components by choosing Installed Products on any window of Oracle Universal Installer. A window of installed programs appears.
Note: Do not delete or manually alter the Inventory directory or its contents. Doing so can prevent the Installer from locating products that you install on your system.

Deinstalling Oracle Components with Oracle Universal Installer

Notes:
s
Silent deinstallations are not supported at this time. Deinstalling Oracle9i JVM causes Oracle Universal Installer to remove Oracle9i and other products dependent on Oracle9i JVM from your system.
This section describes how to use Oracle Universal Installer to deinstall Oracle components (which deinstalls them from the Oracle Universal Installer inventory) instead of removing them manually. Do not delete an Oracle home manually (for example, by deleting the directory structure with Windows NT Explorer) because the components in that Oracle home remain registered in the Oracle Universal Installer inventory. If you then attempt an installation in the same Oracle home, some or all of the components selected may not be installed because Oracle Universal Installer determines they are already installed.
Note: Manual removal of components is permitted only if you exit Oracle Universal Installer during an installation. For example:
s
Choosing Cancel Turning off the computer If the installation does not complete (that is, all required configuration tools do not run at the end)
In these cases, Oracle Universal Installer does not register the installation in its inventory. However, files may have been copied to your Oracle home. Remove these files manually and restart the installation.

The Oracle9i Database is identified by its global database name, which consists of the database name and network domain in which the database is located. The global database name uniquely distinguishes a database from any other database. You create a global database name when prompted in the Oracle Universal Installer Database Identification window during Oracle9i Database installation. The global database name takes the form:
database_name.database_domain
sales.us.acme.com Where... sales
Is... The name you give your database. The database name portion is a string of no more than 8 characters that can contain alpha, numeric, and additional characters. The database name is assigned to the DB_NAME parameter in the init.ora file. The network domain in which the database is located, making the global database name unique. The domain portion is a string of no more than 128 characters that can contain alpha, numeric, period (.), and additional characters. The domain name is assigned to the DB_DOMAIN parameter in the init.ora file.
us.acme.com
The DB_NAME parameter (value sales) and DB_DOMAIN name parameter (value us.acme.com) combine to create the global database name value assigned to the SERVICE_NAMES parameter (value sales.us.acme.com) in the init.ora file.

The system identifier (SID) identifies a specific Oracle9i instance that references the database. The SID uniquely distinguishes a database instance from any other database instance on the same computer. Multiple Oracle homes enable you to have multiple, active Oracle databases on a single computer. Each database requires a unique global database name, and each database instance on the same computer requires a unique SID. The SID name is taken from the value you entered for the database name in the Database Identification window, although you had the opportunity to change it. The SID can be up to 64 alphanumeric characters in length. For example, if the SID and database name for an Oracle database are ORCL, each database file is located in the ORACLE_BASE\oradata\orcl directory and the initialization parameter file is located in the ORACLE_BASE\admin\orcl\pfile directory. The directory ORCL is named after the DB_NAME parameter value.

An Oracle9i Database is divided into smaller logical areas of space known as tablespaces. Each tablespace corresponds to one or more physical datafiles. Datafiles contain the contents of logical database structures such as tables and indexes. A datafile can be associated with only one tablespace and database. The tablespaces in the Oracle9i Database contain the following types of datafiles located in the ORACLE_BASE\oradata\DB_NAME directory:
Note: Unless you specified different names with Oracle Database Configuration Assistant, the tablespaces and datafiles described in the following table are also automatically included in the custom database.

If an instance failure occurs, the redo log files are used to recover the modified data that was in memory. Redo log files are used in a cyclical fashion. For example, if three files constitute the online redo log, the first file is filled, then the second file, and then the third file. The first file is then re-used and filled, the second file is re-used and filled, and so on. Redo logs should be in groups and members mirrored on separate drives.

Rollback Segments Overview

Rollback segments record the old values of data changed by each transaction (whether or not committed). Every database contains one or more rollback segments, which are portions of the database that record the actions of transactions in the event that a transaction is rolled back. Rollback segments are used to provide read consistency, to roll back transactions, and to recover the database. The starter database contains the following rollback segments:
Rollback Segment Contained in this Tablespace... SYSTEM RB_TEMP RB1 through RB16 SYSTEM SYSTEM (private) RBS Used by SYS SYS PUBLIC (a pool of rollback segments that any instance requiring a rollback segment can use)

Oracle Corporation recommends that you configure Oracle9i Database files, directories, and registry settings to allow only authorized database administrators (DBAs) to have full control. These topics describe how to perform these tasks:
s
Setting NTFS File System Security Setting Windows NT Registry Security

See Also: Your Windows NT documentation for more information about modifying NTFS file system and Windows NT registry settings
Setting NTFS File System Security

The Oracle9i database uses files to store database data, backup data, log information, and so on. To do this, the Oracle9i Database process runs under a security account. This security account (the Windows NT LocalSystem account called SYSTEM) includes the ability to create and access these files. The security account is assigned to the service that the Oracle9i Database uses (in the Control Panel). This account requires full file system permissions to create, read, write, delete, and execute files.
1. 2.
Go into Windows NT Explorer. Right-click Oracle9i database files (in the ORACLE_BASE\oradata\DB_NAME directory), executables and dynamic link libraries (in the ORACLE_ BASE\ORACLE_HOME\bin directory), and directories. Select Properties from the menu that appears.

Adjust the file and directory permissions to ensure that:

s
Only the security account that the Oracle9i Database is configured to use has full control permissions to these files User accounts that must run Oracle applications (for example, SQL*Plus, Server Manager, and Pro*C) have read privileges on their executables (for example, sqlplus.exe for SQL*Plus)
Note: The Oracle9i Database uses the Windows NT LocalSystem built-in security account. Therefore, file permissions must be granted to the SYSTEM account of the local computer running the Oracle9i Database.
Setting Windows NT Registry Security
1. 2. 3.
Open the registry.
Select Permissions from the Security main menu. The Registry Key Permissions dialog box appears.
4.
Remove write permissions from any users who are not Oracle9i DBAs or system administrators. Note that the SYSTEM account must have Full Control, since this is the account with which the Oracle9i Database runs. Ensure that user accounts that must run Oracle applications have read privileges. Choose OK. Exit the registry.

When the Oracle9i Database is created through the Enterprise Edition or Standard Edition installation type, the utlrp.sql script is automatically run. However, when an Oracle9i Database is created through the Custom installation type, this script is not automatically run. Oracle Corporation recommends running the utlrp.sql script after creating, upgrading, or migrating a database. This script recompiles all PL/SQL modules that may be in an INVALID state, including packages, procedures, types, and so on. This step is optional, but recommended so that the cost of recompilation is incurred during the installation rather than in the future.
Note: There should be no other data definition language (DDL) statements running on the database while it is running, and packages STANDARD and DBMS_STANDARD must already be valid.

Manually start Oracle Enterprise Manager Configuration Assistant after installation. This assistant creates a new release 1 (9.0.1) repository, edits configuration parameters, removes a release 1 (9.0.1) repository, or upgrades a release 2.0, 2.1, or 2.2 repository to the current release. Case 2: If you installed a release 1 (9.0.1) Oracle Management Server and created a new release 1 (9.0.1) repository, and now need to migrate an existing release 1.x or 2.x repository to the newly-created repository, manually start the Oracle Enterprise Manager Migration Assistant after installation is complete. Case 3: If you installed a release 1 (9.0.1) Oracle Management Server and chose to use an existing release 2.0, 2.1, or 2.2 repository, manually start the Oracle Enterprise Manager Configuration Assistant after installation to upgrade the repository to the current release.

About Oracle Components in Different Languages

Note: Non-interactive deinstallations are not supported at this time.
Typically, Oracle Universal Installer runs in interactive mode, which means you are prompted to provide information in windows. However, experienced users can also run Oracle Universal Installer in non-interactive (also called silent) mode by using response files. These are text files containing variables and values used by Oracle Universal Installer during the installation process. Creating a file with all user prompts, enables a silent installation which will not display graphical output. Optionally, run Oracle Net Configuration Assistant, Oracle Database Configuration Assistant, and Oracle Enterprise Manager Configuration Assistant non-interactively by using response files. Silent installations are recommended in cases when no interaction with the user is intended or when a non-graphical terminal is used. The user needs to first edit a response file to specify the components to install. With Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) release 1.7.x or earlier, the target installation system still requires login to a desktop system on Windows NT. Using silent installation enables you to bypass the graphical user interface (GUI) of Oracle Universal Installer interactive mode. Response files are available for the following components in the \response directory on the component CD-ROM:

Error Handling
Values for variables that are of the wrong context, format, or type are treated as if no value was specified. Variables which are outside any section are ignored. A non-interactive installation fails if no response file is specified or if you attempt a silent installation with an incorrect or incomplete response file. If you attempt a silent installation and the Installer encounters an error, such as insufficient disk space, the installation fails. The results of your non-interactive installation are recorded in the log file of the installation session.
Validation of Values from Response Files

The Installer or configuration assistant performs calculation and validation of the response file at runtime. Failure of the validation process ends the installation or configuration.
Silent Installation and Oracle Net Configuration Assistant

When performing an Oracle9i Enterprise Edition installation in silent mode, the Oracle Net Configuration Assistant fails to configure your system at the end of the installation. After installation, complete the Oracle Net Services configuration with the Oracle Net Configuration Assistant by executing netca from ORACLE_HOME.

About Hardware and Network Configuration

Before running the Oracle Cluster Setup Wizard, have the following information available about your hardware and network configuration:
s
The public network names (known as host or TCP/IP names) of each node Whether you have a high-speed private interconnect and, if so, what are the private network names of each node Whether you are using Virtual Interface Architecture (VIA) hardware and, if so, what are the available Network Interface Card (NIC) names
Node Preparation for a Real Application Clusters Installation

You must create a specific number of logical drives on Windows computers prior to running the Oracle Universal Installer. Oracle Real Application Clusters uses logical drives to store the control, data, and redo log files. You must properly configure logical drives on shared disks in order to create an Oracle Real Application Clusters database using the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant.
An extended partition identifies raw space on the disk. Oracle9i database files can only be stored on logical drives within an extended partition.
Note: Creating a large number of logical partitions may cause a significant increase in the time needed to reboot and launch the disk administration tools.
Only one extended partition can be created for each disk. Oracle Corporation recommends creating the extended partition on an unpartitioned disk and using the entire disk for the extended partition. Windows 2000 offers two disk storage types: basic and dynamic. Create primary partitions, an extended partition, and logical drives only on basic disks. A basic disk uses the same partitions as earlier versions of Windows and contains up to four primary partitions, or three primary partitions and one extended partition.
Beta Draft
ra
About Extended Partitions and Logical Drives
ft
D-3
Within the extended partition, assign a symbolic name to each of the logical drives. For example, for a database named db, use the following format for a symbolic link to the logical drives created for the two redo log files, required for the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant:
db_redo1_1 db_redo1_2
A symbolic link serves as a name for a logical drive into which Oracle writes a datafile, such as db_system1 for the SYSTEM tablespace. It is also used when the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant copies the seed datafiles from the component CD-ROM. A copy of the datafile is made to db_system1 that links to a specific logical drive. The hard disk numbers may be different from node to node, but the number of logical drives and the drive sizes must be identical. When the nodes are rebooted, the hard disk and partition names can change, and symbolic link names mapped to a different partition. However, the physical disk remains the same. The Oracle Object Service tracks and updates the symbolic links, so that the links are mapped correctly after rebooting.To use the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant, you must configure logical drives as described in this section. Create these devices before running the Oracle Universal Installer to install the Oracle Enterprise Edition software. The DBCA cannot create a Real Application Clusters database unless you have properly configured these logical drives:
s
Seven for datafiles
Two for control files One logical drive for each instance for the automatic undo tablespace (or one rollback segment tablespace for the database if you do not use automatic undo management) At least two for redo log files for each instance One for context Recommended: One for the server parameter file One for Oracle9i interMedia One for OLAP One for the voting disk. This logical drive stores configuration data for Server Management (SRVM) and for the Oracle Operating System Dependent clusterware (Oracle operating system dependent clusterware). Vendor
ra
ft
Beta Draft
operating system dependent clusterware require the voting disk for Oracle Real Application Clusters configuration information. If you do not create the database with the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant, then the number of logical drives you create depends on the number of datafiles, redo log files, and control files you plan to create. However, you must still create a logical drive of 102 MB for the Voting disk.
Note: Each instance of an Oracle Real Application Clusters database has its own log files, but control files and datafiles are shared by instances in a cluster. Each instances log files must be readable by all other instances to facilitate database recovery.
Planning Your Logical Drives Configuration

Consider the following when planning your logical drives configuration:
s
You cannot extend a logical drive after it has been created with Windows disk management tools. Therefore, it is not possible to add more space to the logical drive. As a consequence, the datafile created in the logical drive becomes a fixed size and cannot be extended. To add more space to a database tablespace, create an extended partition with required size. Then execute ALTER TABLESPACE tablespace_name ADD DATAFILE SQL statement.
See Also: Oracle9i SQL Reference for additional ALTER TABLESPACE syntax
For best results, select a limited set of standard partition sizes for your entire database. Partition sizes of 50MB, 100MB, 500MB, and 1GB are suitable for most databases. Also create a few very small and very large spare partitions that are, for example, 1MB and perhaps 5GB or greater in size. Based on your plans for using each logical drive, determine the placement of the spare logical drives. You can mix different sizes on one disk, or segment each disk into same-sized drives.
Beta Draft
ra
Ensure that there are a few spare logical drives of the same size. You may need these for emergency file relocations or additions if a tablespace unexpectedly becomes full. If a logical drive is unused, you can drop it and recreate it as two drives, as needed.
ft
D-5
When the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant creates the database, it verifies that you created the symbolic link names and the logical drives are sized to meet the minimum size requirements. Use the tablespace size requirements in Table D1 for the General Purpose, Transaction Processing, and Data Warehouse configuration types. The preconfigured database options automatically create tablespaces and files with the capacities shown in Table D1. If you use the Customized database configuration, use these recommended sizes as guidelines.
Note: Windows disk management tools write a signature to the first 1 MB of space on each physical disk. The first extended partition created on each disk will start after this initial signature of 1 MB size. Therefore, when considering size requirements of your disks for Real Application Clusters database usage, remember to account for initial 1MB space on each disk which cannot be used for extended partitions.

These extended partitions will contain database control files, datafiles and redo log files after a Real Application Clusters database is created on them by Database Configuration Assistant.

By default, Oracle Database Configuration Assistant uses automatic undo management. You should have one undo tablespace for each instance. If you use manual undo management, make the RBS tablespace raw device datafile at least 625MB in size.
Note: Undo tablespace raw device data files for the preconfigured Transaction Processing and General Purpose database templates should be at least 200 MB each.
If you use the New Database template with automatic undo management, then divide the 625MB among the instances. If you have more than two instances, make sure that the undo tablespace raw device data files are at least 50MB in size. If you use manual undo management, make the RBS tablespace raw device data file at least 625MB in size.
Beta Draft
If you use the preconfigured Data Warehousing database, then create a raw device data file for an undo tablespace for the first instance that is at least 625MB in size. For subsequent instances, create undo tablespace raw device data files that are at least 200MB in size.

Windows NT Disk Administrator Cannot Create Logical Drives

Most likely, an extended partition was not created. Create the extended partition and the multiple logical drives within the extended partition.
Question: What is the impact if I have created logical drives, but defined physical disk convention names for them. For example:
PhysicalDriveusr1 =\Device\Harddisk3\Partition1 Answer: An Oracle database will handle the datafile using the physical disk convention, even though it really is a logical drive. This will not cause any data corruption or loss, as long as you continue using the physical disk naming conventions. Oracle Corporation recommends you convert to the logical drive at your earliest convenience. See "Compatibility Issues for Physical Partitions and Logical Drives" on page D-23. Question: What is the impact if I have created logical names representing Partition0. For example: op_system1 = \Device\Harddisk1\Partition0 Answer: This will pose severe problems because the Disk Administrator typically writes a signature into the first block of every disk, and consequently may overwrite a portion of the datafile header.

ft
Compatibility Issues for Physical Partitions and Logical Drives
Note: This may also cause data loss. Never use Partition0 with the logical partition convention.
Question: How do I transfer the contents of any raw partition to a standard file system for backup purposes? Answer: Use the Oracle utility OCOPY to copy data to or from a raw partition for both physical partitions and logical drives. The physical partition and logical drive conventions are not compatible with one another due to the extra block that is skipped for physical raw conventions. This also means you cannot simply do an OCOPY command from a physical disk to a logical drive, as the contents of these partitions are incompatible. If your database installation uses physical disk conventions with logical drives, Oracle Corporation recommends converting to the logical drive conventions using these steps. To convert from a physical convention to a logical convention:

Create logical drives and define logical names for these partitions. Re-create the database using the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant on the new logical drives. Perform the full database import to the newly-created database.

About LSM Server
About LSM Server

LSM server is a media management layer (MML). An MML, such as LSM, is required for backing up and restoring from tape storage if you are using Recovery Manager (RMAN) for Oracle database backups and restores. LSM is a scaled-down version of Legato NetWorker. This section describes how to perform the following steps:

When the installation is complete, the LSM server software is installed in the C:\win32app\nsr directory by default.
Important: Running lsminst.exe installs the LSM server software in C:\win32app\nsr by default. If you do not want LSM server installed in this directory due to insufficient space, lack of a C: drive, and so on, follow these instructions:
1. 2.
Copy the entire LSM directory from the CD-ROM to the drive in which you want to install LSM server. Modify the server.iss file located in the LSM directory. Change Path=C:\win32app\nsr\ to Path=<drive>:<path name>. You can change either the drive name (from the default C:) or the directory path name (from the default \win32app\nsr\), or both. The Path must end with \nsr and must not contain any spaces. Save the updated server.iss file. Double-click the lsminst.exe file icon.

Your Oracle9i Online Documentation for Windows consists of two types of documentation.
s
Generic Oracle9i, Oracle Net Services networking information, and application programming interface (API) information that is uniform across all operating system platforms. Most of the documents in your documentation set belong to this category. While reading through the generic documentation set, you are occasionally asked to refer to your platform-specific or operating system-specific documentation for procedures specific to the Windows NT, Windows 95, or Windows 98 operating systems. To easily identify where these generic documentation references are described in your operating system documentation, see the index of this guide and the Oracle9i Database Administrators Guide for Windows for the following entry: generic documentation references.
Operating system-specific
Installation, configuration, and the use of Oracle9i components in a Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows 2000 environment. Operating system-specific documents are occasionally referred to in the generic documentation set. These documents are easy to identify because their titles typically mention their specific operating system or make reference to a Microsoft feature.
IMPORTANT: Documentation may be included in your package detailing components that you did not buy or license, or whose functionality is not included in the current release. The presence of such documentation does not mean that these components are included in your package or that you are licensed to use them.

cluster A cluster generally comprises two or more computers, or "nodes." Oracle Real Application Clusters software and a collection of hardware, known as a "cluster," unite the processing power of each component to become a single, robust computing environment. Oracle Real Application Clusters is a robust computing environment that harnesses the processing power of multiple, interconnected computers. connect descriptor
The destination service is indicated by using its service name for the Oracle9i Database or its Oracle system identifier (SID) for Oracle release 8.0, or version 7 databases. The network route provides, at a minimum, the location of the listener through use of a network address. connect identifier A name, net service name, or service name that resolves to a connect descriptor. Users initiate a connect request by passing a user name and password along with a connect identifier in a connect string for the service to which they want to connect, for example:
SQL> CONNECT USERNAME/PASSWORD@CONNECT_IDENTIFIER
default domain The network domain within which most client requests take place. It can be the domain where the client resides, or a domain from which the client often requests network services. The default domain is also the client configuration parameter that

determines what domain to append to unqualified network name requests. A name request is unqualified if it does not have a "." character within it. Directory Information Tree (DIT) A hierarchical tree-like structure in a directory server of the Distinguished Names (DNs) of the entries. directory naming context A subtree which is of significance within a directory server. It is usually the top of some organizational subtree. Some directories only allow one such context that is fixed; others allow none to many to be configured by the directory administrator. directory naming method A naming method that resolves a database service or net service name to a connect descriptor, stored in a central directory server. A directory provides central administration of database services and net service names, reducing the work effort associated with adding or relocating services. Although net service names can be configured to alias a service, the directory can refer to a database service directly without using a net service name. To further aid with configuration ease, the database service is automatically added as an entry to the directory during installation. directory server
An LDAP-compliant directory server that is accessed with the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). A directory can provide centralized storage and retrieval of database network components, user and corporate policies preferences, user authentication, and security information, replacing client-side and server-side localized files. external routines A PL/SQL routine executing on an Oracle server can call an external procedure or function that is written in the C programming language and stored in a shared library. In order for the Oracle9i Database to connect to external routines, the server must be configured with a net service name and the listener must be configured with protocol address and service information. External routines were previously known as external procedures. IPC A protocol used by client applications that reside on the same node as the listener to communicate with the database.

listener A process that resides on the server whose responsibility is to listen for incoming client connection requests and manage the traffic to the server. Every time a client requests a network session with a server, a listener receives the actual request. If the clients information matches the listeners information, the listener grants a connection to the server. listener.ora file A configuration file for the listener that identifies the:
s
Listener name Protocol addresses on which it is accepting connection requests Services for which it is listening
The listener.ora file resides in ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_ HOME\network\admin. An Oracle9i Database does not require identification of the database service because of service registration. However, static service configuration is required for an Oracle9i Database if you plan to use Oracle Enterprise Manager. local naming method
A naming method that resolves a net service name, stored in a clients tnsnames.ora file, to the network address and identification of the service. Local naming is most appropriate for simple distributed networks with a small number of services that change infrequently. naming method A resolution method used by a client application to resolve a connect identifier to a network address when attempting to connect to a database service. Oracle Net Services supports the following naming methods:
s
Local naming Directory naming Oracle Names Host naming External naming

net service name A simple name for a service that resolves to a connect descriptor. Users initiate a connect request by passing a user name and password along with a net service name in a connect string for the service to which they want to connect:
SQL> CONNECT USERNAME/PASSWORD@NET_SERVICE_NAME
Depending on your needs, net service names can be stored in a variety of places, including:
s
Local configuration file, tnsnames.ora, on each client Directory server Oracle Names server External naming service, such as Novell Directory Services (NDS), Network Information Service (NIS), or Cell Directory Service (CDS)

operating system authenticated connections Windows NT login credentials can be used to authenticate users connecting to an Oracle9i Database. The benefits of Windows NT native authentication include:
s
Enabling users to connect to multiple Oracle9i databases without supplying a user name or password Centralizing Oracle9i database user authorization information in Windows NT, which frees Oracle9i from storing or managing user passwords
OPS$ The initialization file parameter OS_AUTHENT_PREFIX enables users to specify a prefix that Oracle uses to authenticate users attempting to connect to the database. Oracle concatenates the value of this parameter to the beginning of the users operating system account name and password. When a connection request is attempted, Oracle compares the prefixed user name with Oracle user names in the database. The default value of this parameter is "" (a null string), thereby eliminating the addition of any prefix to operating system account names. In earlier releases, OPS$ (short for operating system specific) was the default setting. Oracle Context
The root of a directory subtree with a relative distinguished name of cn=OracleContext, under which all Oracle software information is kept. There may be one (or more than one) Oracle Context in a directory. An Oracle Context can be associated with a directory naming context. The Oracle Context can contain the following Oracle entries:
s
Connect identifiers for use with Oracle Net Services directory naming to make database connections Enterprise user security for use with Oracle Advanced Security
Oracle home name The name of the current Oracle home. Each Oracle home has a home name that distinguishes it from all other Oracle homes on your computer. During installation, you are prompted to enter an Oracle home name in the Name field of the Oracle Universal Installers File Locations window.

Oracle home The directory path in which to install Oracle components (for example, D:\oracle\ora90). You are prompted to enter an Oracle home in the Path field of the Oracle Universal Installers File Locations window. Oracle Management Server The middle tier of Oracle Enterprise Manager, which provides centralized intelligence and distribution control between console clients and managed nodes. Oracle schema A set of rules that determine what can be stored in an LDAP-compliant directory server. Oracle has its own schema that is applied to many types of Oracle entries, including Oracle Net Services entries. The Oracle schema for Oracle Net Services entries includes the attributes the entries may contain. Oracle9i Standard Edition One of the available Oracle9i database types. Oracle9i does not include Oracle Real Application Clusters, Oracle Advanced Security, Oracle Partitioning, Oracle Spatial, Oracle Time Series, Oracle Visual Information Retrieval, and Oracle Visual Information Retrieval Client. Oracle9i Enterprise Edition The complete database type. Oracle9i Server Online Documentation CD-ROM The CD-ROM in your kit that includes the Oracle9i Server Online Documentation. The Oracle9i Server Online Documentation CD-ROM is separate from the component CD-ROM. The Oracle9i Server Online Documentation CD-ROM does not include this installation guide or the Oracle9i Release Notes for Windows NT. Those documents are only included on the component CD-ROM. Oracle9i Personal Edition for Windows NT One of the available Oracle9i database types. Oracle9i Personal Edition for Windows NT does not include Oracle Real Application Clusters.

protocol address An address that identifies the network address of a network object. When a connection is made, the client and the receiver of the request, such as the listener, Oracle Names Server, or Oracle Connection Manager, are configured with identical protocol addresses. The client uses this address to send the connection request to a particular network object location, and the recipient "listens" for requests on this address. It is important to install the same protocols for the client and the connection recipient, as well as configure the same addresses. A protocol used by client applications that reside on the same node as the listener to communicate with the database. repository A set of tables in an Oracle database that store information regarding the state of services managed and monitored by Oracle Enterprise Manager, as well as information about the separately licensable management packs. It is used as a back-end store by the Oracle Management Server(s). sqlnet.ora file
Client domain to append to unqualified service names or net service names Order of naming methods for the client to use when resolving a name Logging and tracing features to use Route of connections Preferred Oracle Names servers External naming parameters Oracle Advanced Security parameters
The sqlnet.ora file resides in ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\network\admin.

service registration A feature by which the PMON process (an instance background process) automatically registers information with a listener. Because this information is registered with the listener, the listener.ora file does not need to be configured with this static information. Service registration provides the listener with the following information:
s
Service name(s) for each running instance of the database Instance name(s) of the database Service handlers (dispatchers and dedicated servers) available for each instance This allows the listener to direct a clients request appropriately.
Dispatcher, instance, and node load information This allows the listener to determine which dispatcher can best handle a client connections request. If all dispatchers are blocked, the listener can spawn a dedicated server for the connection.
Terminal Server
Microsoft Windows Terminal Server is a Windows thin-client terminal server, a product that adds support for multiple, simultaneous client sessions on the Windows NT Server. Windows Terminal Server provides an operating system graphical user interface (GUI) to users of Oracle8i and Oracle9i databases. tnsnames.ora file A configuration file that contains net service names mapped to connect descriptors. This file is used for the local naming method. The tnsnames.ora file resides in ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\network\admin. top-level components When you run Oracle Universal Installer from the component CD-ROM, you are prompted in the Available Products window to install a top-level component. Each top-level component contains several installation types from which to choose. Each installation type contains a series of individual components. See "installation types" on page Glossary-3 for a list of installation types available with each top-level component.
ra
This information allows the listener to determine how best to service a client connection request.
